Washington Week is on now (et) and they are talking about the flyer
found at the FL thug headquarters...and how the bush crowd is tied to the group..and how they did the trashing of McCain in 2000....still discussing the details..and it's sounding anti shrub...but Gwen Eiffel is shilling for shrub.

2. The gwenster may "love republicans"..but bush is a
different story altogether. bush is just a thug so ..it seems to me that gwen is not running on a full patriot deck.

4. Watch and listen for a while
Gwen ain't what she seems, and IMO mirrors PBS's shift to the right.

That's all I'm sayin'. :)

6. Oh no, I agree with you!! I was just saying gwen has a loose
screw because she obviously. from what I've heard..must adore bush or she is trying too hard to act like she's neutral.

She better be on her best behavior for the VP debates!

9. I didn't think we disagreed
:silly: But she is subtle while appearing to be neutral, that's for sure. You kind of have to look for it.

5. As regards Gwen - I just recently started watching her
shilling for repubs. Has she always been like this or is it new?

7. One day this week, she used the phrase "flip-flop"
THREE times in one sentence in connection with Kerry, once referring to "his flip flops".

Nice, Gwen. Nobody thinks he's flip-flopping except you and the Repukes.

16. Is Ifel part of the price PBS paid for government funding?
I can't think of another reason for her being there.

8. Is that Monkey boy loving dbag Birnbaum on?
Him i cannot tolerate, he is a "Faux news all-star" which is so ridiculous sounding and then he pollutes up PBS and pretends to be fair.

10. I don't understand how any African/Amer., Hispanic, Asian,
Native/Amer., woman or poor American would vote for the people who exploit them and deny them their rights on a daily basis. These demographics cover about 90% of the American public, so I am astounded that they get the votes they do?

13. A lot of poor people are convinced they are going to be rich someday.
plus, for some bizarre reason, Americans seem to think being poor is shameful, so they don't want to admit to themselves that they are poor.

And imho, the MAJORITY of middle-class people think they already are rich. That's why it is important when talking tax policy, not to use the term 'rich', but to use a specific figure: 'earning more than $200,000'.

11. she called Kerry's response "Bush bashing"
I kid you not. The woman is vile.

But her panel was good. Barbara Slavin mocked how the Bush administration responds to Iraq questions by saying that Allawi is in charge now. All the whores just repeat the administration's absurd claims of a real sovereign govt. in Iraq as if they were facts.

12. Isn't Ifill tight with Condi or something?
She really is a gasbag. What a fucking waste of space.

15. This was one of the better shows. Ifel kept quiet.
Some of the reporters actually took the trouble to investigate what they were talking about. Cummings contacted the Bush campaign about the "swiftie" flier, and Martinez looked up statistics on jobs for returning veterans. I guess we'll never see them again. As for Ifel she has to be related to someone. There is no other possible explanation

so sure that Gwen is a liberal hears her today.
